country is nervous dc''llity and prostration. It goes under many names but 1t Is essen- tially the same complaint. Hospitals and private institu- tons for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United S;Ht"; Is de- oreasing every year. SudG n oeaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess ional and public men are so frequent as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui cides, committed without ap- Iarent reason, or under so-called depression of spll'its,' are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is fruitful source of insanity and crime with all their grief and horror.
 These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of it's power and pros ptrity, They wreck manhood's strength and wolnan's useful ness and beauty.
 Every one should know the causes. What are they? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pow erty; the use of narcotics and stnnulnnts; our f:--hion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for al hours pleasure or success. So we burn life's candle at both ends and fll the lunatlc asylums and the grayeyards.
